It was nearly every NHL fan’s biggest dream and the Washington Capitals’ worst nightmare. League MVP Alex Ovechkin nearly got into a brawl with Tampa Bay’s Steve Downie last night. I mean, who outside of the Caps’ room didn’t want see that? They were into each other in the third period and then both went off for roughing. And no sooner then they get out of the box, they immediately look for each other, the gloves come off and it’s go time!
